The "I'm sorry we screwed up" DLC was only free for

Really? The "we svcked at launch" dlc was only available for 2 weeks for free... where as we were told we were getting a free dlc, a DLC that was supposed to come out in june, than july... and if you didn't stalk the forums after the mid july waiting for the dlc to come out and went on with your life, you missed out on it? This is such a joke...

Exactly.

PLUS, the people who have been basically Beta testing this game since Day 1 deserve it more then you. We're the ones honestly interested in trying to get this game fixed properly and help it succeed. If you can't get on the Internet at least ONCE a week, it was your own fault bro you obviously didn't care about the game that much to keep yourself UPDATED. Pure and simple...

How are you doing this? Arguing among people on the forums about stuff that never will happen. Its Splash Damages "Bug" team that works on getting stuff fixed not you.

I see the Ops point not everyone stalks the forums about information. It was a silent LDC release I'm sorry for the Op I never got the LDC free either. I understand not everyone goes on line all the time like some. It was nice that it was free. Splash did it to get people back online.

Uhh "bro" i was playing the game since day 1, thanks for asking. And its summer, get a life. I shouldn't "have" to jump on the brink website once a week. In retrospect, I should have returned my game the first week after release like everyone else, instead I did the "I'm sure they'll fix it" card. Even when the DLC was pushed back, I was like "it's worth the wait, pretty nice looking make up dlc". Now I need to keep funding a [censored] game that doesn't look like its getting fixed in any hurry, when I was promised a makeup dlc months ago?

Edit: And a link to the original promise of a free dlc. http://www.bethblog.com/index.php/2011/05/13/brink-updates-now-live-free-dlc/

dont be such a cheap ass. if you dont want 2 come on here every week to check then pay the $10 dlc charge. I dont know how cheaper the dlc can be. Its not our fault u wernt even on the game once the ENTIRE 2 weeks. usually people r on there xbox/ps3/PC AT LEAST once every week. Amusing most people r on everyday or every other day and you weren't on brink once the entire 2 weeks deal with it and just hand over the $10 bill

You also could of just...ya know, checked the marketplace. :P I'm sure you were playing games on whatever system you're playing Brink on so it's not that far of a leap to go check the market every now and again. Heck, even when I'm not waiting for DLC I tend to check out the market place once a week. Not necessarily for every game I own, but I still check it out.

Because an occasional check in the marketplace is TOO HARD!
Wah.

They made it known everywhere it was only two weeks, EVERYWHERE.

Your fault. Not my problem.

I agree. First off the dlc was free for 2 weeks. Then unexpectedly the developers release the pre-order dlc that fans have been asking for (they are listening to their community). So if you buy them both, they cost $4 dollars total. If you didn't get agents of change while it was free, getting everything now will cost you $14 dollars. That is a waaaayyyy better offer than say CoD, considering if you are one of the morons that didn't realize that if you purchased all of the dlc that is availible right now. You would have spent $60 dollars. That is equal to the freakin' game, and that's only maps. Can I say RIP OFF? So that is why Brink.......RULEZ!!!!!

How the mighty have fallen.

Really? This wasn't that advertised. I didn't see any news of this except for on these forums, especially since it was supposed to come out two months before it actually did. Pretty much throwing everyone who didn't frequent these forums out of the loop.

Though, when it did come out it didn't make any front page markings on the market place, not that I remember. It was just at the forefront of the new add-ons spot.

But seriously, no one should be yelling at this guy for missing out on something that wasn't obvious. I'm sure he was like most who isn't stupidly devoted to the game and put it down and waited for the fixes and DLC to come out, but when they didn't, he probably got caught up with other things.

This isnt the first time DLC has had an exclusivity period, it isnt the first time DLC has switched from paid to free, so DLC can go the other way.

Sony & Microsoft will probably have issues with DLC being free, obviously preferring developers to release paid for DLC so that said company gets money.

Nothing you say on the forums will make it come back to free, you just missed it. This was (as I remember it) advertised by SD close to the release date.

P.S. Microsoft decide what goes on the front pages
